Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council has decided to impose sanctions on high-ranking officials and senior officers who betrayed Ukraine during the events of 2014 and supported Russia's aggression.
This was announced at a briefing by NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov on February 26.
Ten people were put on the sanction list and they were deprived of state awards and military ranks, he said.
